Abstract

SMARTPHONES HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL GADGETS IN OUR DAILY LIFE, AND IN AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST’S LIFE TOO. WE TEACH HOW TO TAKE SMARTPHONE SLITLAMP PHOTOGRAPHS WITH AND WITHOUT AN ADAPTER, EVEN HOW TO MAKE AN ADAPTER OF YOUR OWN. ALSO, HOW TO TAKE SMARTPHONE FUNDUS PHOTOGRAPHS WITH AN ADAPTER WHICH YOU CAN MAKE AT HOME. USEFUL APPS FOR EYE DOCTORS ARE DISCUSSED. USES OF VIRTUAL REALITY IN OPHTHALMOLOGY INCLUDING SMARTPHONE BASED VR PERIMETRY, PG TEACHING AND PATIENT EDUCATION. VARIOUS USES OF 3D PRINTING AND DESIGNING IN OPHTHALMOLOGY AND ITS ADVANTAGES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS ARE DISCUSSED. WE TEACH ABOUT THE APPLICATION OF UPCOMING TECHNOLOGIES OF MACHINE LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN ASSISTING THE OPHTHALMOLOGIST IN SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASE AND ITS PROGRESSION. WE ALSO DISCUSS THE VARIOUS INNOVATIONS IN OPHTHALMOLOGY TEACHING WHICH CAN BE EASILY IMPLEMENTED IN OUR TEACHING HOSPITALS TO HELP POSTGRADUATES IMPROVE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF ANATOMY AND THEIR SURGICAL SKILLS.
